 DOMErrorHandler is a callback interface that the DOM
implementation can call when reporting errors that happens while
processing XML data, or when doing some other processing (e.g. validating
a document). A DOMErrorHandler object can be attached to a
Document using the "error-handler" on the
DOMConfiguration interface. If more than one error needs to
be reported during an operation, the sequence and numbers of the errors
passed to the error handler are implementation dependent.

 The application that is using the DOM implementation is expected to
implement this interface.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Since:1.5, DOM Level 3

This method is called on the error handler when an error occurs.

 If an exception is thrown from this method, it is considered to be
equivalent of returning true.

Params:
  • error –  The error object that describes the error. This object
  may be reused by the DOM implementation across multiple calls to
  the handleError method.
Returns: If the handleError method returns
  false, the DOM implementation should stop the current
  processing when possible. If the method returns true,
  the processing may continue depending on
  DOMError.severity.
